'Twas in ALDI today looking at the left-over biking bits and saw the balaclava for $10.00.
I'm off to Tassie in October, and reckon I'll need to pack warm.
Since it was "only" a tenner I thought I'd give it a whirl, after finding a heavy scarf a bit of a pain in the neck when I did a Newcastle run a month ago.
Just tried it on, wondering how it would go with the pretty close-fitting Shoei.
It actually makes pulling the lid on and off easier, mainly because of my car-door style ears. Without the balaclava my ears tend to curl and require a bit of twisting etc to get settled. With it, they just lie flat like nice little normal ears.
I won't be wearing it through a Queensland summer, but southern journeys might see it get an outing.
Another technological break-through!

Might add some interest to the TAKE YOUR HELMET OFF WHEN PAYING FOR PETROL rerquirement.
Biggles rocks in wearing a balaclava.
That'll test their resolve!
